“An engaging and entertaining exploration of a large family’s life in a small town…McCall’s fluid writing, eye for detail, appreciation of rural life, and her ability to stir the reader’s empathy guarantee an absorbing and moving read.”Margaret Porter, award-winning and bestselling author of A Pledge of Better Times

Elena Wright Maguire has a problem: for nearly two decades, she’s used sheer will to hold together her safe, predictable, and mostly fulfilling life. Then she’s involved in a fender bender and all bets are off. She’s forced to confront a tragedy from long ago that threatens the sense of security she’s worked so hard to create. But as the aftershocks of the past unfold, it seems they just might have something to offer—for Elena and for us—in the journey of navigating the sometimes heartbreaking challenges of the here and now.

Set in the foothills of Upstate New York’s Adirondack Mountains, and spanning events over four decades, M. Reed McCall’s humorous, poignant, and endearing novel is a tender foray into the emotional landscape of family, friendship, and the kind of love that transcends boundaries, weaving an inspiring tale about what it means to hang on before learning to let go . . . and remembering how to keep living when you lose someone you love.

Reblogged this on M. Reed McCall, Author and commented:
A lovely mention of my book’s release by Bri Bruce, of Bri Bruce Productions, who created the lovely cover for Moose Tracks on the Road to Heaven, and all things technical in editing, formatting etc. to get it ready to release into the world. She is a talented poet in her own right, and I’ll be posting more about her in that capacity soon.
